Ahhh, children, the collateral damage in an abusive relationship. Adults think they don't "see" what is going on , but they do and they even someehow feel that it must be their fault, for not being better, nicer, quieter or smarter. It takes courage to choose the unknown. But when the known is so bad, you have to make the jump for the sake of the children and your own mental health. Good for you girl.

Even just the amount of glasses of wine I was consuming a night, was affecting my digestive system. Thanks for bringing this important issue to the forefront. Just read an article about how many health care workers are coping with COVID by drinking! Scary.

Ahh, yes, as a mom of a stillborn, I so understand. Grief is real and lasting. She died on Christmas morning and in the days leading up to Christmas forty years later, I am blue and spacey. Finally realized that my cells remembered, even when friends and family did not.

Blessings and keep writing and I will keep reading.

Thank you for discouraging gossip. We have always told our children and grandchildren; "If they are gossiping about another with you, they will gossip about you with another. Walk away, they are toxic."

Hello from beautiful Montana,
